History: Seeker was born over three thousand years ago on the island nation of Atlantis. He was destined from birth to become a Guardian of Atlantis just like his father, Air Guardian Master Anil. On his 18th birthday Seeker became a Water Guardian and joined the ranks of the other guardians as a protector of Atlantis.

For several years Seeker trained with other Water Guardians under the tutelage of Water Master Nerine. He showed a natural gift for learning and controlling his abilities quickly leading him to be top of his age group. Instead of letting his natural gifts go to his head he helped his fellow initiates learn and control their own powers gaining him many friends not only among other Water Guardians but among the other Guardian classes as well.

When he turned 25 Seeker was given his first solo mission to the main land. He was told this mission was simply a normal diplomatic delivery mission to Greece. Many centuries later he learned this mission was something more that was put in place by the four ruling masters of the guardians.

While Seeker was performing his mission a powerful evil force attacked and destroyed Atlantis killing almost everyone he ever knew. Seeker learned of the attack from a single fisherman from Atlantis he had known as a child who had managed to escape the attack and made it to Greece only to die a few days later with Seeker by his side.

The fisherman's death left Seeker as the last remaining Atlantian in the world.

Over the next three millennium Seeker wandered the world getting training from different masters in different forms of combat and magical arts. Eventually he learned to master many forms of combat and magic but only after centuries of practice, study, and more than a few mistakes.

Eventually his travels led him to a small village nestled in a tranquil valley. For a few years Seeker lives in a small hut a few miles from the village deep in the local forest. While living there he patrolled the forests alone occasionally saving the odd local from the dangers of the forest. Over time his sightings led to a bit of hero worship from the local village.

One day while in the forest near the village he heard some villagers talking about him. He changed into his human form and entered the village as a traveler to learn what they were saying about him.

While disguised as a human he learned that the locals had come to think of him as a local forest protector. Not liking the direction the locals were beginning to go with how they viewed him Seeker decided it was time to let them know the truth about him. So a few days later he returned to the village in wolf form and introduced himself to the villagers.

At first there was some misgivings about having a werewolf living near the village but over time he gained their trust and was even welcomed into their homes and families. For several years Seeker and the villagers lived in a peaceful coexistence.

Over the decades stories of a lone werewolf living in the valley spread. A few challengers appeared over the years to try their skill against him. When humans came seeking to harm him the villagers would warn Seeker and then give the hunters so many conflicting stories that they would end up leaving convinced that the stories were made up delusions. When werewolf challengers would arrive Seeker would convince them to leave one way or another.

That cycle continued for many years until one day there was a knock on the door to Seekers hut. When he opened it expecting to see one of the villagers he was given a surprise. Standing there on his step was two teen age wolf cubs. Both young wolves were thin, dirty, and covered with a variety of cuts and scrapes. The eldest of the two was trying his best to hold up his brother even though he was close to collapsing himself.

Taking pity on the two lost cubs Seeker invited them into his home and gave them food and rest while tending to their wounds. As they recovered they introduced themselves as Rick and Jasper. Rick, the older and more protective of the two, explained to Seeker how they had come to find themselves in this forest. He said it was only by luck they happened to come across one of Seekers trails and followed it to his home.

He allowed Rick and Jasper to stay in his home while they healed and began to train them to defend themselves should they ever come across trouble again. Once they were fully healed they asked if they could stay with Seeker and help him protect the valley saying that they owed him his lives. So with Rick and Jasper now under his care Seeker founded his own pack.

Over the next few years other wolves would come and some would go when they found living with Seekers rules a bit more than they wanted. Within a decade Seeker had a pack of nearly a dozen wolves and had built a house able to fit them all.

One day while take one of the younger wolves in his pack, a female named Luna who had sought out seeker for magical training, Seeker comes across a wolf by the name of Shadow....
